Family Pack Authorizations

I just bought the Leopard Family Pack and I intend to use all 5 registrations, but I've run into a snag. After my first instalation I tried to run Boot Camp and partition my hard drive, but it said my hard disk was broken. So i ran disc first aid and the only option i had was verify disk. I was then told to restart the computer from my operation system disk and run disc first aid that way. I'm worried if I do this that I may need to reinstall leopard and use another one of the registrations. Leaving me with 3 more and 4 computers i want to put this on. Does anyone know if this is a realistic concern?

Don't worry the registration process doesn't log the number of times you've Installed Leopard. Apple trusts you to honour the agreement to only install a family pack of OS X or iLife on up to five machines in your household.

RHEL 4.6
We have an on going implem of EBS R12 RUP 6 (FINANCIALS) and still, every day our functional consultant is still
encountering setup error and ask me to apply more patches. Does FINANCIALs have Family pack that followed
RUP 6? It is really tiring going to the client everyday just to apply 1 patch. I want to apply all at one time. How
do I find all the FINANCIAL pathces after 12.0.6? Is patchset.sh applicable to R12?
Thanks a lot

Hi Hussein,
Based on Note 793520.1 you gave me, the following ang the patches updates made after RUP 6.
These are quite plenty if I have to apply them 1 by 1. Are there family pack where all of these patches

IWork family pack - unregistering from one computer...

I bought the iWork family pack and installed it in 3 computers.
Now the third computer is leaving the family (sold) and I want to make sure I'm compliant with the license terms.
I want to uninstall iWork from it (I know, just delete the app) and MAKE SURE THAT MY NUMBERS OF USED LICENSES is back to 2 computers only.
Where do I go or what do I do to de-authorize, un-register, or whatever you call telling Apple "Hey, I'm just using two of my five licenses".
If that is even needed...
Thanks in advance.

celopes,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
That's nice of you to be concerned with compliance with the license agreement. iWork installations are done on the honor system. With a Family Pack license, you're legally entitled to have five installations at a time. And you don't need to tell Apple about it. Just delete the one you no longer need and know that you have the admiration of all honest people in this discussion group.

I own Snow Leopard Family Pack and an acquaintance installed it onto their MBP without permission. How can I revoke that license?

I own Snow Leopard Family Pack and an acquaintance installed it onto their MacBook Pro without permission. How can I revoke that license? I don't have access to their MBP, but I have access to all the other authorized computers using the family pack.

No. The license is a legal agreement, not a technical measure to restrict installation or duplication. There's nothing to stop you from installing it on 20 Macs in your household save that you are subject to a binding legal agreement that says you have permission to install it on no more than 5. If you break the terms of the contract, you may be subject to civil litigation. If someone steals your copy and uses it without authorization, they are similarly liable.
In practice, Apple trusts you to be honest because, frankly, until it gets to a certain point, it's just not worth the money to file a complaint against you. That's not to say that they couldn't, or even shouldn't enforce the terms of the license agreement; caveat sycophanta.

Bought OSX Lion on Family pack have purchased new hard drive where can I get OSX lion now

Had a family Pack under Aplle where we shared all updates on OS X one computer has installed new hard drive but no copy available now for OSX lion How do we solve this problem?

Not sure what you purchased as a "family pack", but Lion does not have that option available. However, if you purchase it from the app store, then the license authorizes you to download it as often as needed on any computer YOU own and control. Since it is tied to your Apple ID (the ID used to purchase it), no one else can download it. Even if you gave other family members your Apple ID to use, it would be violating the licensing requirements and be considered software piracy.
If you installed a new hard drive on your computer or another computer you own, it should be available. Since this is a new blank hard drive, you may need to reinstall the original system (Snow Leopard?) and then go back to the app store as you need to have SL installed to download Lion. If you made a bootable clone of the old drive, you could simply clone that back.

How can I move an e mail account from one family pack to another

I have an e mail address (not main family pack e mail address) and I would like to move it to another family pack. Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks

Caroline12, Welcome to the discussion area!
I believe that your question is about a Mobile Me family pack account. If that is true, I believe that the answer is no.
But your probably should post your question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > MobileMe discussion area.

HT4436 How can I transfer my odl family pack email to new iCloud id? Or add a new email account (not an alias) to my main icloud id?

I had a family pack but now I am not able to reach my son's email account. How can I find and transfer it? Or how can I open a new email account for my son through my icloud id. Actually it seems as if there is an oprating email account under his name but e-we cannot receive any emails or cannot reach the account settings...

Each sub-account of a MobileMe Family Pack should have been individually migrated to iCloud before August 1st last. Assuming that you didn't do this, you should be able to reactivate the address (though not retrieve its previous contents) by signing in with it in System Preferences>iCloud and enabling Mail - your son should do this on his own Mac or his own user account if he is using your Mac. It's not clear whether he will be able to reactivate the @me.com version or only get an @icloud.com version. (It would be useful to know, when he tries it.)
If he did migrate the account to iCloud then signing in in the same way should retrieve the contents and the @me.com address should work.
Alternatively he can just create a new Apple ID (for which he will need a new non-Apple email address) if he doesn't already have one, and sign in with that, enabling Mail and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
You should note that in none of these cases does his account have anything to do with yours (there is no need for a Family Pack equivalent in iCloud as it's free at basic level).
You could add an email alias to your account, but it's not a good idea as it will mix his emails up with yours and he won't be able to detach it later.

How do you Set up a Family Pack sub-account

how do you Set up a Family Pack sub-account i have purchased a Family Pack account and enter the activation key and i can not find where to set up the sub-account.
please help
Denis

Thanks Shepart
when i activated the account i ticked the upgrade button, should i have ticked the new account button?
anyway, when i do what you say (below) there is not a manage "Accounts button" so i went to reactive it again ( for a new account) and is says that the activation key is all ready in use.
Denis, go to www.mac.com and sign into your account. Click on the word "Account" at the top of the left hand column. You will need to sign in again for security purposes. Once your account settings show up, click on the "Manage Accounts" button and you can take care of everything.
i think i hit a brick wall !!
Cheers

How do I get iweb to upload to different family pack accounts?

Hi. sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't find this particular problem anywhere. Also sorry this is going to take a while to explain. We feel we wasted an extra 50 bucks on our family pack for mac.com last year to have accounts we never could find out how to upload from our separate iWeb domain files. We needed 4 different "sub accounts" but we use one mac laptop using one desktop. Calling apple customer service was of no help. We have figured out the way to get iWeb to open different domain2 files was to copy and into each person's file (one for the gardener for their garden stuff, one for the budding chef and his cooking stuff, etc). But no matter what domain file is opened and worked on iWeb always uploads it to our main (original) user name thus erasing the site previously uploaded to it. We can't seem to find out how to change the settings in iWeb so when it uploads particular iWeb projects to Mac.com (or now me.com?) it goes to the sub accounts and not overwriting the main account. Our main account is for the entire household's news/photos etc and we don't link to the others from there. We thought by setting up the family pack we could easily get iweb to send up to the other sub accounts. Not so. We ended up last year just doing all our websites on the same iWeb domain file using "new website" function and adding a complete new website to the bottom of the list on our iWeb pages. All of them would be combined into one which uploaded everything to the main account. Not what we wanted but that was the only way that nothing would get erased by anyone else's updates but also not very private as those near the bottom of the list would have a mac.com address as long as my arm. Sorry so long winded here. But if we can't have two iweb domain files on a desk top upload to two separate mac.com accounts or sub accounts, then why pay the extra for them? Is a family pack only good for families with a computer in every room? Our family pack accounts expires in 10 days so would like to know if we need to waste another 50 bucks. And no, setting up separate desktops for for the sake of individual iWeb projects is not an option as all the files are kept together. We tried that once and got so much duplication in photos and stuff, our hard drive was full in no time.

so you have 45 different users on your one computer? ie: 45 different desktop users or am I still not understanding. To me a "user" you are referring to is what I would go up to the upper right of my toolbar and use the drop down menu and select another name (or in this case another alias of myself) but those additional accounts (users) would all have to be tied into my files on the main account to access them from all users, correct? All my files are on my one main user (myself) and not all of them are in iPhoto or iTunes, for instance any swf files. If I have other iWeb domain files (which I know how to create, duplicate and know about the last one used in iweb etc) then I have to create a separate user name (myself again) in my computer for as many iweb/me.com accounts or sub accounts that I have? But my problem with that is if I copy those domain files and move them into another account/user (which I tried) the link (the stuff at the bottom of the iWeb work window) still says my original Mac.com (me.com) address and will not let me change even when the new "user" has not even logged into Mac.com ever or the second computer is linked to a completely different mac.com account. I would have to start all over from scratch. I am sorry that I am not getting this. I know you are trying hard to explain it to me but it is just a bit too complicated to do a simple task of: I want to create a new iWeb/domain2 file on my own desktop with my own user name and have it go to "here" and not "here" within the me.com environment. I have actually copied and moved over 20 domain and domain2 files between our two macs to work on them, but each time the same connection indicated at the bottom is always the same and they will all upload to the master account at Mac I am referring to thus deleting anything we uploaded before no matter which computer they are located on. Once that domain file is created it is locked into that Mobileme account no matter what. So it has been easier to simply save to folders and purchase hosting from someone else than try to figure out what I am doing wrong with mac and me. (me, not myself)

How can I tell if my software licence is a Family Pack or Single use?

I need to work out which licence I have as my daughter has a Mac Book. Her school provided her with iWork but take it off when she leaves in a month or so. If I have the Family Pack I can load Pages, Keynote etc, but not if I only have Single use.

If you still have the box or electronic receipt you could call your closest Apple Store and give them the serial # or model # and they can check it. Do you remember what you paid? Also, there are no longer any Family Packs with Lion, but I see your sig says Snow Leopard.

Family Pack use in a company?

Are there any license restrictions regarding the use of the iWork Family Pack?
Some software has a "commercial use" clause preventing the use in a corporate environment, does iWork have anything like this regarding the family pack.
So...
Can I buy the family pack & use it for example on 5 computers in a small company?
Other licences prevent installation on more than 1 premesis.
So...
Can I install on 3 computers at the office & 2 at home?
and lastly where can I get a copy of the license agreement?
Thanks

OK, found the license, all questions are answered in one neat paragraph:
B. iWork Family Pack License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-
labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same
household. By "household" we mean a person or persons sharing the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or
condominium. This license does not extend to students who reside at a separate on-campus location or to business or commercial users. You
may not make the Apple Software available over a network.

Family Pack Leopard install fails G4 Dual 1.2Ghz

All, I purchased the Leopard family pack and have successfully installed it on an Intel Macbook Pro and a G5 2.3Ghz DP machine - flawless, no problems during installation or after.
However, any attempt to install on a G4 Dual 1.2Ghz + 2Gb of RAM + just bought a Seagate 500Gb Barracuda internal drive (well within the designated technical requirements), I've tried the following.
1. Booting the G4 off the Leopard install DVD, I get the following error: Failed Install message = "The Installer could not validate the contents of the Essentials Package...".
I can never get beyond this point. After receiving this error, the internal disk isn't even recognized on the bus - I have to pull the disk out, put it in an external case to reformat it. I've even tried a low level format and also had Seagate replace the disk thinking it was defective.
2. I then thought it may be an issue with putting the Seagate disk in cable select mode versus master / slave configuration. The Seagate is the only hard drive in the machine. I have tried both cable select and master/slave configuration - both freeze after install, etc. without fail.
3. Tried installing Leopard on the G4 by connecting it to the G5 in target disk mode. It installed, but routinely just freezes (NEVER had this issue with Tiger on this machine).
I do see lots of people posting issues with the "The Installer could not validate the contents of the Essentials Package..." error.
For the record, after successful Leopard install using technique #1 and #3 - I am also unable to run the Migration assistant - it fails every time with a kernel panic. I'm not having any trouble with the Leopard install media on any of the other 2 machines, nor did I have issues running the migration assistant.
Any ideas are appreciated. thx,

themdg - you said you put back your 2-512 original RAM cards and tried to install Leopard and the install failed. But my original, factory-installed RAM was third-party RAM which prevented me from installing Leopard, giving the “essentials” error. Only when I purchased RAM from Apple, and used only that RAM to install, could I get it to work correctly.
Check your original RAM. If it is not the Apple brand, it may not work because of that, even if it was the factory-installed RAM.
After I installed Leopard with only the Apple RAM, I added back the third-party RAM and I’ve been running Leopard flawlessly since.
It seems the installation software, which meticulously checks the installer disk for flaws, should also check the RAM to see if the installation will be successful (i.e., check to see if it is going to produce the “essentials” error) and also check to see if you have enough valid RAM to install, before it begins installation, and to let the user know there will be a problem unless the RAM is changed to valid cards.
I “assumed” I had enough valid RAM when I first tried to install Leopard because I had a G5, but it had only 256 MB of non-Apple brand RAM (minimum of 512 is required). A direct check of that by the installer and letting me know it was a problem would have saved me a lot of trouble checking lots of other potential problems, like a bad installer disk, a third-party drive, etc., before I figured out it was insufficient and incompatible RAM for the installation.
I read the minimal requirements for installation of Leopard and probably someone will say I should have checked all those before I tried the installation, but I didn’t, as I’m sure many others have not, because we “assume” Apple had tested it and would prevent us from making any mistake like this.
Previously Apple made their software and hardware to “just work” by providing error messages before we made an error and we have come to rely on that. But they overlooked this problem on this update. It’s the first time I’ve had a problem with an update from Apple.
I’m still a loyal Apple user, but I’ll check requirements a little closer with future updates.

Install failure due to "faulty DVD" problem: only with Family Pack?

After going through a few threads on the subject of installation failure due to tbe pseudo-faulty DVD, I have the impression that many users mention that they were using a Family Pack install DVD or in one case a "drop in". The former is my case. Please post if you have had this problem with Leopard install, and whether you were using a single licence, family pack or drop in. It's just a hunch, but perhaps this problem only affects a specific set of disks.

I believe that they are holding back on sending a new DVD until they know why there were defective ones. I read somewhere that they require a new SKU so that they will actually be a separate batch.
Can you borrow a DVD from anyone to install Leopard? You certainly would be allowed to legally do that. I am surmising that Apple is overloaded with requests for a replacement DVD and really want to make sure it works. You know that old thing about "fool me once..."
Stuff happens - but with Leopard, a lot of stuff sure happened at once. They sold 2 million DVDs. If only 5% have problems, that's a lot of problems to deal with, one at a time.
In time it will sort itself out, but in the meantime the rooms are full of smoke

My hard drive had to be recently reinstalled with the software being 100% totally new. I therefore do not have iwork 09 which was purchased as a family pack. How can I download and reactivate it?

My hard drive had to be recently reinstalled (5 days ago) with the software being 100% totally new, and totally up to date.
I therefore do not have iwork 09 which was purchased as a family pack (via download). How can I download it again without purchasing, and reactivate iwork09? It does not show up in my App store under purchases, as it was purchased a few years ago.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
You can transfer itunes purchases fom an iphone: Without syncing : File Transfer Purchases
or you can redownload them. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

How I can use my family pack Microsoft Office Home

How I can use my family pack Microsoft Office Home & Student 2010 PC software on my current Mac Notebook? Since my new operating system is "OS X" technically I wouldn't have such a issue, but it does & I couldn't run the office 2010. By using iZip Unarciver only I was able to open the disk, but not to run 2010.

You have two choices if you want to use Office:
1) purchase Mac: Office 2011
2) install Windows on your Mac and use the Office 2010 you own
